Chapter Two: A World of Danger
"Can you get us any more information than that?" Robin asked as he put the remaining half of his sandwich away.
"I can tell you where it is and that they're putting it on high-priority," Cyborg said. "Other than that, your guess is as good as mine."
"What are we waiting for? Let's get going!" Beast Boy said.
"You might want to put that camera away before we go," Raven said.
"Yes, we do not want it to be damaged," Starfire said.
"Yeah. Damaged. That's it," Raven muttered, remembering the flash in the face. She got on her feet and ran after the already-mobilized Robin and Cyborg.

They flew, ran, and galloped over to the source of the distress call. When they finally arrived at the docks, they saw police in riot gear surrounding a red spider about the size of a tank. The police kept a large space, as they were keeping bystanders away more than they were trying to fight it. The arachnid was tearing apart loading equipment and throwing it into the water and against buildings.
"Where's the guy who called for help?" Robin called to Cyborg, who shrugged.
"I think we better take care of that thing first," Beast Boy said.
It let out a shriek, as if it knew from what Beast Boy had said that a fight was beginning. Raven focused and levitated one of the cranes it had thrown so she could place it down before the flying lifter damaged a building. Starfire launched her signature ammunition at the beast, which was taken aback by the volley. The resident shape shifter dove into the nearby water and changed into a giant squid. From there he attempted to grapple the creature with the reach of his many tentacles. Robin and Cyborg both charged in for a physical assault. Once Beast Boy had pinned all its legs, the fighters easily subdued it.
With the skirmish over, the combatants relaxed. All relaxed except, of course, for Robin.
"Who sent us that call? If someone calls for backup, you're supposed to keep fighting yourself and just wait for reinforcements," the Boy Wonder stated.
"If I had answers, I'd share them," Cyborg said. A second later, screams were heard in the distance and the police rushed off in that direction. "Sounds like another job for us while we're thinking about it."

Starfire never got the chance to land before they moved out again. She just got a wave from Beast Boy, who had climbed out of the water as himself, to head towards the mall. She had only been there a few times before, and each time it had been a bundle of chaotic groups of shoppers. However, it had never been so frenzied as it was now. Swarms of the same sort of spiders she had just helped to dispatch were crawling over every wall and plowing through every hallway.
She was the first to see the sight, but she soon heard multiple "whoa"s on the ground and from Raven who joined her in the air.
"What should we do? There are so many!" Starfire said.
"We might want to split up for this," Robin said. "Star, you and Raven sweep the mall of them from top to bottom. Cyborg, BB, you guys go with me and take them from the bottom up."
"Sounds like a plan," Cyborg said. Suddenly, a small siren sound let out from his forearm. He opened up the panel and checked, but everyone recognized the sound this time. "They're calling us again," Cyborg said. "To right over there." He pointed to the mall.

Thanks for sticking with me, people. I know the chapters are short, but I just want to keep updates consistent. I ought to put out a chapter every week or two. Feel free to let me know what you think by reviewing. Oh, and I almost forgot-
LEGAL DISCLAIMER- I do not own the Teen Titans. Don't sue. I don't have all that much that you would get out of such a case any way- unless you're maybe looking for a writer? What? You can't blame me for trying.
